Orange wirenuts

[LarryFine]

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth!

- Monty Python

"When All The Laughter Dies In Sorrow"

When all the laughter dies in sorrow
And the tears have risen to a flood
When all the wars have found a cause
In human wisdom and in blood

Do you think they'll cry in sadness
Do you think the eye will blink
Do you think they'll curse the madness
Do you even think they'll think

When all the great galactic systems
Sigh to a frozen halt in space
Do you think there will be some remnant
Of beauty of the human race

Do you think there will be a vestige
Or a sniffle or a cosmic tear
Do you think a greater thinking thing
Will give a damn that man was here

Yeh but how do you know how much tape to use ?

^^^ I failed an inspection once for this. Inspector wanted me to provide documentation on how many wraps of tape were sufficient. So I had to provide submittals on the tape I used showing the thickness, the stretch rate, and how many wraps I used to match the insulation thickness of #12. This was back in my soldering days.

Just like how many licks to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.

Oranges seem small for a #12 even just to cap a single wire no? When I cap wires #10-#16 I use the Ideal tan twisters. But I use those for 99% of all my splicing and capping (residential).
The tans grip just fine and Ill put a bit of tape to skirt it and help keep any crud from jammin up in the nut.
